Lawrence O’Donnell Mocks Herman Cain ‘Do Not Speak Unless Spoken To’ Rule

video
» 213 comments

On Thursday night’s The Last Word, host Lawrence O’Donnell dove into reports of a chaotic Herman Cain campaign with gusto, particularly the revelation that an internal campaign memo instructed aides, when driving with the candidate, “Do not speak to him unless you are spoken to.”

O’Donnell joked that he had tried, unsuccessfully, to institute such a rule at MSNBC for a long time. Guest Joe Klein, though, probably had the line of the night, calling the Republican field “the most…glorious display of weird humanity I have ever seen.”

The segment was pegged to the least surprising campaign expose´ ever, from the New York Times, that revealed, through interviews with unnamed former Cain campaign aides, that the pizza king’s campaign is, like a calzone, a hotter mess inside than it is on the outside. The tidbit that’s getting all of the buzz, though, is this:

And then there was that e-mail to the staff about traveling in a car with Mr. Cain: “Do not speak to him unless you are spoken to,” the memo said.

O’Donnell gleefully ripped into Cain, and joked with panelist Alex Wagner, saying, “I want to thank you for being the only one here at MSNBC who observes my do not speak to him unless spoken to rule,” to which Wagner replied, “I know the rules, boss.”

This focus is so bizarre to me, because like Cain’s smoking ad, it’s like criticizing Hannibal Lecter for using the wrong fork while he’s eating your liver. In this case, it’s not even a valid criticism. Yes, the email does have a superficial “Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball” vibe to it, but really, it’s not that unreasonable a request. As a writer, I know how it is to have well-intentioned small talk invade your thought process, but unlike Cain, I’m not afraid to be a prick about it.

Time’s Joe Klein told O’Donnall that Cain’s time at the top of the polls is nearing an end, mainly citing the candidate’s weird abortion arc (I’m not so sure about this; even in polls taken since then, Cain retains his lead). Klein says Iowa voters reacted to Cain’s initial pro-choice-y position by telling Klein, essentially, that Cain “is dead to me forever.”

Klein is also the latest to predict a turn for Newt Gingrich, or possibly Rick Santorum, in the frontrunner’s barrel. “This republican field is the most glorious display of weird humanity I have ever seen on a debate platform,” Klein told O’Donnell, running down the other candidates’ disparate motives for running. “Newt, however, is a very clever guy. He has interesting ideas. I saw him turn a stump speech in to an endless lecture about brain science the other day. It was fascinating.”

Gingrich does have a shot at a ride at the top of the polls for a bit, but with barely 60 days to go before voting starts, he doesn’t have the resources to compete on the ground with a candidate like Mitt Romney. The big question is whether anyone, or anything, can wrest the race away from the logic-proof atomic fireball that is Herman Cain.

    Unnamed former White House aides report that when not watching ESPN, Barack Obama kneels at his Satanic altar and chants black magic incantations. Also, he’s getting extremely frustrated that they don’t work.

    Notice Mediaite has no story about Laurence Odonnel’s interview with an organizer for the Occupy Oakland protests, where she admits to throwing bottles and rocks at police before they responded. This is because Mediaite is a left wing rag that is very selective about the information they’re disseminate.

    It delegitimizes the lie that the police were unprovoked and that this is a peaceful movement.

    If there truly are any racists in the Tea Party, they still have the right to protest excessive government. Do the racists and anti-semites undercut what OWS stands for? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NIlRQCPJcew

  • http://gregingleright.weebly.com/ Greg

    I doubt that Gingrich will improve his poll position in that his brand of conservatisim runs counter to the tone of the times. The right wing base may take occasional joy with his fast talking jabs but they are really looking for a know nothing Christian Ranger out to roam the high plains in search of pesky “gubbmint” to be shot, hung and dried. Cain fits the tone perfectly… He is just so terribly know nothing that he cast doubt upon his Christ like respect for the immediacy of the soul. I predict he will ride this out and defeat Romney… The libertarians and Teavangelicals find Mitt as weird as we liberals do.

  • TruDat

    The same thing occurred on Fat Ed’s show.  He had a friend of the victim on and asked, “there weren’t any violent acts toward the police were there.”  To which the friend replied, “yes, it was tense out there.”

    You should have seen the look on Fat Ed’s face.  You could see he wanted to say, hey, no, don’t say that, it goes against my schtick.

    Its related in that Larry O’donnel is an out of the closet propoganda distributor for the left wing. 

    Through Half Truths, Omission, and Obfuscation, and Ridicule, he propogates a narritive that supports his and your political views, but in doing so, he does not present the full and truthfull story.

    With this in mind, ANY report he provides must be taken with the same level of seriousness that one would take from a propoganda minister in the republic of North Korea.

    Or are you going to tell me that Glenn Dreck outshines him.
    And don’t mention ratings unless you benefit from them directly.

  • steveknows

    No it isn’t.
    You’re offended by liberal criticism, but have no meaningful response.
    So you pretend to be amused in an above-it-all way.
    It ain’t working.

    And were not the racists here, either.

  • steveknows

    The teabaggers are on the way out.
    They have no support in the polls.
    And why would they, now that the public has seen them?

  • steveknows

    Probably because they were guilty.

  • steveknows

    And did they do so?
    Ever?

  • steveknows

    When have your posts ever contained anything resembling logic?

  • steveknows

    What rules are you babbling about now?

  • steveknows

    Total crap.
    Do you defend the 1% because you’re one of them, or because you think that they’ll throw you some crumbs if you’re nice to them?

    Crazy Larry wants Mr. Cain to ‘Shut the ‘ef up and go to the back of the bus’.

    Why is mediaite showing us Larry?  Nobody watches and nobody cares what he has to say. 

  • SayyyyyWhat

    The hypocrisy and racial bigotry on LSDnbc is sickening. Lawrence O’donnell may be the worst of the bunch. Lawrence has always been known as a very angry and unhappy person but, making fun of a Black man daily is really low for the trash on LSDnbc. Lawrence should just admit he is embarrassed by his 5’4″ height and quit using the little man syndrome as an excuse for his short commings.

    No Tommy, “Crazy Larry” O’Donnell wasn’t mocking anybody…..he was projecting his real feelings about Herman Cain and all African-Americans. O’Donnell hates it when some some upitty n has the nerve to stray from the liberal plantation….just like you Tommy.

    Face it Tommy, all you liberals are the worst racists….bar none.

  • K m

    So when Fox/faux news trashes the POTUS on a daily basis thats just good reporting right? No hypocrisy or bigotry.

    But when LOD or anyone else on ANY network talks negatively about Cain, its racial. Ok, gotcha.

    Just trying to get the double standard straight in my mind.

  • Anonymous

    He’s not making fun of the man because he is black, but because he is obviously ignorant.  Sounds like you caught it too.  I note that you do what a lot of republican haters do – instead of accepting criticism of the guy,you turn the table and begin in on O’Donnell.  He isn’t the one who is running for president.
    Admit it.  Cain was a poor choice in the beginning.  People like you thought it was cool to support him as a candidate when in fact, you knew nothing about him or his policies – turns out of course that he doesn’t have any ideas or policies.

  • Anonymous

    Ironic that you should bring that up.  Because, if Cain was such a leader, why is it that “he went to the back of the bus as he was told”?

    well, it is when you are looking at 10 Billion people in the world and only so much water and food.  I think it is time to make birth control mandatory.

    Except for the fact that they vetted Sarah Palin, which insured Obama’s victory.
    Did you like that ridiculous clown for our vp?
    And no, she’s not better than Biden.
    She’s not better than anyone.
    Only a complete moron could take her seriously.
    Did you take her seriously?

  • steveknows

    So why does he bother you. creep?
    Because you can’t handle the truth?
    Because he insults your ignorance?
    Because you can’t find any way to refute anything he said?

    Take your time.

  • steveknows

    Good one.
    Not here on planet Earth, but somewhere.
    Or are you prepared to call that rational?

    Wow.
    That is so exciting.
    Really.

    Actually, the vermin are you, and people like you, who choose to mock those who want jobs and justice.

    You’re not.

  • steveknows

    You haven’t shot holes in anything, you irrelevant, wrong-wing clown.
    Tommy is just reporting on other journalists, whom you dislike, not because they’re inaccurate, but because they tell the truth.
    That’s your narrative: Don’t criticize the facts, because you can’t. Critcize the reporter for covering the story at all. Because essentially, your feelings are hurt by the very nature of the story. By the mocking of one or more of your pathetic idols: Palin, Bachmann, Trump, Perry, Cain, or Glenn Dreck. Or Flush Limp bough.
    Which of those clowns represent your hopes and dreams? How dare those liberals shatter their fake images? Show them up fior the fools they are. Make you realize how stupid you’ve been for believing in them.
    I get it.
    I take off fools like you every day.

  • steveknows

    How intellectual does it have to be to see through, and expose those frauds?
    They’re completely transparent, and the fact that you’re unable to see it simply underscores your collective ignorance.
    Or is it your collective stupidity? Yeah, that’s it.
    Stupidity.

    And they seriously wounded, and maybe killed, an Iraq veteran.

    What a telling remark.
    So you, lacking in courage, would never attempt to stand up for your beliefs if you were outnumbered?
    What a coward, moral, and otherwise, you are.
    And apparently, you can’t stand on your own, you wuss.
    Do you believe that you’re right if you’re in the majority?
    Is that how you arrive at conclusions?
    No wonder you all celebrate ignorance and stupidity and stupid poliicians.
    No wonder you dislike intelligence and intellectuals.
    You’re a coward.

  • steveknows

    A failure?

    You just don’t like it.
    But you know it.

  • steveknows

    Because they’re disgusting people?
    I refer to those vermin who bullied sick people at those town hall meetings in 09.

  • steveknows

    If the racists who spit on Black congressmen, and called them racist names, during the teabagger rally in DC in 09, weren’t racist, then wtf were they?
    And don’t tell me that it never happened. I saw it, over and over, on tv.

  • steveknows

    Except it’s not unfounded.
    You lying piece of crap.

    Are you now pretending that you didn’t come here to argue?
    Or that you’re not an idiot?

  • steveknows

    That’s a steaming load.
    His reports are far more accurate than the crap on Faux news or Glenn Dreck, or Flush Limp bough. Anyone who takes them seriously loses all credibility in their comments.
    You ridiculous joke.

  • steveknows

    Can they defend any of their candidates?
    The only one that has a remote chance is the one they want to dump.
    But I guess that once Michele Bachmann fell from the lead, the magic was gone.

    Why would anyone want to associate with you, or creeps like you?

    This from someone who would have put Sarah “Disgrace” Palin in office.

  • steveknows

    Like you disgusting creeps have the right to tell a woman what she can do with HER body.
    ESD.

  • steveknows

    But you like Palin and Bachmann and Perry and Gingrich.
    They’re cool, huh?

  • steveknows

    As I said above, when I called you out for cowardice and stupidity, numbers don’t equate to truth.

  • steveknows

    No. It’s accurate.
    Although ‘disgusting’ would be more accurate.

  • steveknows

    Actually, “batshit crazy” was coined by liberals to describe Michele Bachmann.
    I understand how your lack of originality would cause you to misappropriate the phrase, but it applies to her, not him.
    He’s a Harvard grad, and while that probably doesn’t impress a clown college attendee like yourself, you really shouldn’t insult someone just because they so effectively mock and dump on the morons that you identify with.You pathetic slob.

    Btw, the teabaggers are on the way out. Seen the numbers lately? 9% approval of Congress. That’s the repugnantans.

  • steveknows

    Actually, you’re wrong.
    But on the off chance that you’re not, he’ll be replaced by someone else you won’t like.
    If you do, they’re not doing their job.

  • steveknows

    Sure I can.
    Right here with you, and the other wrong-wing imbeciles, creeps , and morons.

  • steveknows

    Yeah, you all do.
    See how many people here are criticizing him.
    And for nothing more than the fact that he upset them.
    Or hurt their feelings.

  • steveknows

    “Lawrence has always been known as a very angry and unhappy person……”

    Really?
    I’m guessing that you just made that up. Because it’s total crap.
    An absolute lie. Typical of you wrong-wing liars.
    Nothing could be further from the truth.
    And anyway, are you presenting yourself as some picture of mental stability?
    Please. Like that’s gonna fly.

    And he never made fun of Cain as a Black man, but as a candidate. In other words, he was doing his commentator job.

    Btw, have you ever made fun of Obama, or condoned others doing so?
    You lowlife hypocrite.

  • steveknows

    You fool.
    The fact that that’s his explanation doesn’t make it true.
    That’s just Herman covering his ass against charges made by his former aides.
    In some right wing rag offering twitter feeds to Palin and Bachmann.
    Are you really stupid enough to believe that this will convince any liberal of anything?
    No wonder everyone thinks that you’re all morons.

  • steveknows

    You pathetic fool.
    He was taking on Cain because he’s tosally unqualified. Just as he took on Trump, Palin, Bachmann, Perry, and the others.
    You’re just upset because he does it so well.
    No? Then why are you all carrying on so.
    And doing it so poorly.

  • steveknows

    What a collection of pathetic hypocrites.
    All of you taking all this time to try to marginalize O’Donnell.
    If he didn’t matter, you’d be talking about something else.
    But he DOES matter.
    Because he takes on all your stupid heroes, and bursts their balloons.
    Becaise he’s effective.
    And you know it.
    And feel it. Personally.
    And that upest you all so much that you just can’t shut up about how much he doesn’t matter.
    Like I said: hypocrites.

    I agree with you ggirl. He should have refused to ‘go to the back of the bus’. And more important than that is the fact that Crazy Larry is a RACIST for screaming at Mr. Cain like he was a 1950’s share cropper. He is a disgrace to decent minded Americans yet a great example of a typical lib/prog.

    Why respond to Alinsky tactics?

    I have heard from unnamed sources you sleep with underage children, how do you respond? I want proof by the way of you not sleeping with underage children.

    Frelling idiot.

  • steveknows

    So you two, in cowardly fashion, dis someone who’s not here to defend himself.
    Good thinking. This way he can’t respond to your cowardly attack.
    Thanks for showing your lack of character.

  • steveknows

    If the reporter stands by the story, essentially validating the source’s credentilals, then it’s legitimate journalism.
    Even if you don’t like the story or it’s implications.
    Of course, the real joke is you, thinking you can come here and negate the validity of a story simply by saying that you don’t believe it. It doesn’t work that way.
    Alas.

  • Thunderfoot

    Who’s mocking conservatives? They are a mockery to themselves. Their views and understanding of things leave one to believe that my pet chimp likely could do better in a race for office. At least he would use sign language other than trying to speak.

  • Daddymac4

    Hey FOX where in the hell did you find that Ann Coulter broad? She sounds like something that has been seeping at the seams from the late 50s era. I almost couldn’t believe she said what she did while being on Hannity, who leaves a lot to be desired for. Since when did she own Black People? Maybe her distant relatives did during the slavery period. But she stated and I quote: “Our Blacks are better than their Blacks” she was speaking of the Democratic Party. She didn’t have a clue how ignorant she sounded. She speaks or should I say rumble along so fast words come out of her mouth without merit.
